About CoRecover
CoRecover is a modern mental health and addiction practice in South Portland, Maine, offering outpatient and intensive outpatient programs for adults navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. With a multidisciplinary clinical team and a range of treatment approaches including group and couples therapy, CoRecover supports people building lasting recovery in their own community.
Located at 10 Atlantic Place in South Portland, Maine, CoRecover is a dedicated outpatient addiction treatment and mental health practice built around the idea that recovery works best when it fits into real life. The center combines modern diagnosis and clinical counseling to serve people managing substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, and co-occurring mental health conditions — all without requiring a residential stay. For those seeking ongoing recovery support close to home, CoRecover offers a community-rooted alternative to inpatient treatment.
CoRecover provides two primary levels of outpatient care: a standard outpatient program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These levels of care are designed to meet people at different points in their recovery journey — whether someone is stepping down from a higher level of care or beginning structured treatment for the first time. The IOP format offers a more concentrated schedule of support while still allowing clients to maintain work, family, and daily responsibilities.
The clinical team at CoRecover brings together licensed and credentialed professionals across psychiatry, therapy, counseling, and nursing. The practice's approach incorporates both group therapy and couples therapy, making it one of the few outpatient programs in the South Portland area to formally include relationship-focused treatment in its model. Counselors on staff draw from trauma-informed care foundations, and the team includes professionals with certifications in EMDR, ACT, and EFT — with physician leadership from Dr. Edward J. Bilotti, MD, who brings more than 20 years of experience treating addiction and mental health disorders.
CoRecover treats a broad range of conditions: opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, tobacco use, gambling and behavioral addictions, depression, anxiety and panic disorders, bipolar disorders, attention deficit disorders, and co-occurring conditions. This breadth makes the practice a meaningful option for people whose recovery intersects with mental health needs — a common reality that many narrower programs are not equipped to address. The practice accepts Medicaid (MaineCare), private health insurance, and major credit cards, and is in-network with certain health plans, with out-of-network benefits available for others.
Outpatient & Intensive Outpatient Programs in South Portland
CoRecover's outpatient and intensive outpatient programs are designed for people who are ready to engage in structured addiction treatment while staying connected to their daily lives. The standard outpatient program suits those who need ongoing clinical support at a flexible pace, while the Intensive Outpatient Program provides a more concentrated level of care — often the right fit for people transitioning out of residential treatment or those who need more than weekly appointments to stabilize their recovery.
Both program levels are delivered by a multidisciplinary team working Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, at the practice's South Portland location. This community-based model means clients can build recovery skills in the same environment where they live and work — a practical advantage for those committed to long-term sobriety rather than a temporary residential stay.
Treating Co-Occurring Disorders Alongside Addiction
A significant portion of people seeking substance abuse treatment are also navigating mental health conditions — and CoRecover is structured to address both simultaneously. The practice treats depression, anxiety and panic disorders, bipolar disorders, attention deficit disorders, and other co-occurring conditions alongside opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, tobacco use, gambling, and behavioral addictions. This integrated approach means clients don't need to choose between addiction treatment and mental health care.
The team includes a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC) with a trauma-informed foundation, and a licensed clinical professional counselor holding certifications in EMDR, ACT, and EFT. This range of credentials allows CoRecover to meet clients with complex, layered needs — not just those presenting with a single, straightforward substance use concern.
Group Therapy and Couples Therapy as Core Recovery Tools
CoRecover incorporates group therapy and couples therapy as formal parts of its treatment model — two modalities that reflect a recovery philosophy grounded in relationships and community. Group therapy offers clients the kind of peer connection that is central to lasting sobriety, creating space to share experience and accountability with others in similar circumstances. For many people, this group dynamic is as important to long-term recovery as individual clinical work.
The inclusion of couples therapy is a notable feature for an outpatient addiction practice. Substance use and behavioral addictions frequently affect intimate relationships, and CoRecover's willingness to engage couples directly in the treatment process reflects an understanding that recovery rarely happens in isolation. Family members and partners supporting someone in recovery will find this a meaningful element of what CoRecover offers.
Payment Options and Access to Care
CoRecover accepts Medicaid through MaineCare, private health insurance, and major credit cards. The practice is in-network with certain health plans, and clients with out-of-network coverage may use those benefits as well. This range of accepted payment methods reflects a commitment to keeping outpatient addiction treatment accessible to people at different financial starting points — an important consideration for those planning a longer recovery journey rather than a single acute episode of care.
The practice operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM at 10 Atlantic Place in South Portland, Maine. Those looking to learn more or begin the process can reach CoRecover directly at (207) 482-0276 or visit co-recover.com for additional information about the programs and clinical team.
